These wolves don't seem like ordinary wolves; they appear to have been drugged.
If these wolves were all clear-headed and of normal intelligence, Wange could communicate with them, but the fact that they started fighting right away just felt a bit off.
The minister in charge of the hunting grounds was kneeling outside at this moment: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. But I have been in charge of the hunting grounds for many years and have never seen any wolves. Where did the wolves come from? I beg Your Majesty to find out the truth and clear my name."
There's no way a pack of wolves would appear in a hunting ground; something's definitely fishy about this. The Emperor clearly sensed it too, and it was so obvious he wanted to harm the Crown Prince.
The emperor glanced at Wan Ge beside him. Could she be one of the concubines? Did they think that only by getting rid of the crown prince would their own children have a chance?
"I will naturally investigate this matter, but the appearance of wolves in the hunting grounds shows that Lord Zhou's management was inadequate."
"This old minister is willing to accept any punishment." No matter the crime, it will be less serious than the crime of harming the emperor and princes.
…
A pack of wolves appeared in the hunting grounds, and the crown prince was injured. This incident enraged the emperor, and the next day, after the rain stopped, several dead wolves were found not far from the imperial camp.
Perhaps it was because of the abnormality that Wange mentioned, possibly due to the use of drugs to manipulate the situation, that the wolf pack suddenly died the next day.
Wan Ge stayed by Feng Su's side until the next day when Feng Su's high fever subsided and he woke up at dusk.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar place before him, Feng Su knew they had returned to the Imperial Camp. He instinctively wanted to get up and look for Wan Ge, but the moment he moved, he felt pain all over his body.
Wan Ge immediately stopped him: "Don't move."
Upon hearing her voice, Feng Su obediently stopped moving and simply tilted his head to look at her with his beautiful eyes.
Wan Ge patted his head: "Don't be impulsive next time. You have to listen to me, okay?"
Feng Su remembered His Highness's words telling him to escape. He lowered his head. This time, he didn't listen to His Highness, because he knew he couldn't leave. If he left, His Highness would surely face so many wolves...
Wan Ge helplessly flicked his nose: "We were lucky this time. If this happens again, you'll be dead. Let's see how you protect me then."
Wan Ge understood that the other person was risking his life to protect her, but she didn't need it; it was enough for him to protect himself.
"There won't be a next time." Feng Su also realized that he needed to practice martial arts more diligently and put in a hundred or a thousand times more effort than he was now. Only by being able to fight a hundred people at once could he truly protect her.
"You've been lying here for two days, you must be starving." Wange picked up the porridge that was placed aside and gently fed it to the person in front of her.
The palace maid was still deeply shocked by the scene and couldn't understand why His Highness would treat the son of a disgraced official so well.
…
Back in the palace, after finishing processing the memorials, the emperor saw a dark figure kneeling directly before him. This person was his confidant and one of the representatives of his hidden power.
"Has everything been found out?" The emperor's tone was indifferent, but he was also eager to know who wanted to harm Wan Ge.
Having served the emperor for so many years, he was responsible for handling most of the things that couldn't be done openly. The secret guards were very familiar with the emperor, so when asked this question, they hesitated for a moment before honestly replying, "Your Majesty, I have investigated and found that it was Lord Donglin who did this."
